I think you are evading the obvious answer, economic conditions (both in China and Mexico) have improved since 2000 (and worsened in the USA). So for most people, lowering their economic income a little to live in their own country in the culture they were raised takes precedence.

I am not muslim, nor arab but if I were I think I would be mad at the prior statement, since it reeks of "all muslims are terrorists that should be hunted down by drones" and because we all know that since bush jr. was elected there is no such think as trials for "enemy combatants".
